Rays selected East Forsyth HS (NC) 1B Xavier Isaac with the 29th pick of the 2022 MLB Draft.

Isaac is a 6-foot-4, 249-pound first baseman who had a college commitment to Florida. The Rays have selected first baseman high in he draft in the last few years, and it appears they’re going with another power-hitting option. The person writing these blurbs had never heard of Isaac before this draft. They hope to find out more in the coming days.

Gordon Graceffo will open for the Cardinals on Thursday.

It’ll be a bullpen game. Newly-called up Cade Winquest may have the best chance for a bulk role, but that’s not exactly an endorsement of chasing a win with him.

Abimelec Ortiz is not in Washington’s starting lineup for Thursday’s game against the Rockies.

Terribly unfortunate to miss a start against RHP Gabriel Hughes, who is 0-5 with a 6.54 ERA. Andrés Chaparro will draw the assignment instead. It’s the first day off for Ortiz in the last six.

Hunter Goodman and Mickey Moniak aren’t in Colorado’s starting lineup against the Nationals on Thursday.

Both will miss a chance to face RHP Jake Irvin. Zac Veen and Brett Sullivan will get the call. This is likely just a normal rest day for Goodman as a catcher in a day-game-after-a-night-game situation.

James Wood

WSH Right Fielder #29

James Wood (oblique) was doing baserunning work on the field on Thursday.

Wood landed on the injured list on August 4th with what the team had called a mild oblique strain. However, his recovery progress has been slow, and it’s unclear if he has even begun swinging a bat. Seeing him run on the field is certainly nice, but until we see him hitting and beginning to hit high velocity, we shouldn’t expect an imminent return.
